A cell separation device comprising a container, in which a liquid supplied from above can be filled, and a partition mechanism, which partitions the inside of the container into upper and lower parts, said cell separation device being characterized in that: the partition mechanism is provided with a partition plate which has through holes and a barrier wall which is in contact with the partition plate and provided with holes communicating with the inside of the lower surface of the upper inside part of the container; and, when the partition plate rotates around the center in the long axial direction of the container as a rotational axis, the upper inside part and the lower inside part of the container are switchable to a communicated state and a blocked state. In the cell separation device according to the present invention, a cell-containing liquid can be easily filled without causing disturbance on the boundary surface between the cell-containing liquid and a separation liquid and, after centrifuging, layered cells can be easily separated and, moreover, target cells can be harvested at a high purity. |
